Detrital zircon dating allows us to elucidate the age and provenance of siliciclastic strata of the Sarydjaz and Ichkebash formations in the Middle Tianshan of eastern Kyrgyzstan, previously thought to be of the Middle or Late Ordovician age. New data indicate that the upper part of the Ichkebash Formation contains Lower Silurian sediments, previously unknown in this region. The Kanachu Formation, which lies stratigraphically above, is also not older than the Silurian in age. The absence of marine fauna at these levels apparently reflects the predominant development of deltaic facies. The paleocurrent indicators and the ages of detrital zircons point to its provenance in the North Tianshan (NTSh). Grains with ages from the Late Cambrian to the Silurian, synchronous with the main stage of the Early Paleozoic magmatism in the NTSh, predominate in the Ichkebash Formation. The occurrence of Precambrian detrital zircons in all dated samples and especially in the Sarydjaz Formation indicates the erosion of Precambrian rocks. The provenance most likely located in the Chu-Kendyktas Massif, where the Precambrian detrital zircons in the Neoproterozoic and Early Paleozoic metasedimentary rocks demonstrate a similar distribution of the ages. The foredeep in the Middle Tianshan was formed in the Late Ordovician and Early Silurian generally subsynchronously with the main orogenic event in the NTSh. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
